Issue
Behavior: The mailer service is expected to send a lot of emails, and it does so successfully. However, it leaves many connections in the CLOSE_WAIT state, which can lead to resource exhaustion (locally with mailtrap, it stopped around 1010).
Fix
lib/sendmail_handler.mlThe following lines show the output after adjustments. No connections left with
CLOSE_WAITstate. Always the same amount of connections (tested locally with 10000 mails)The test is pushed to the following branch, as it's not designed to run in CI I'd keep it there: https://github.com/mabiede/letters/blob/dev/mailspam-testcase/service-test/test_mailspam.ml#L22
Additional
I did maintenance on the devcontainer setup and simplified it.
